Feasibility and acceptability of CD-ROM-based cognitive-behavioural treatment for binge-eating disorder

We compared preliminary feasibility and acceptability of CD‐ROM‐delivered CBT for overweight individuals with binge‐eating disorder (BED) to 10 weekly group CBT sessions (Group) and to a waiting list control (WL). Attrition was numerically greater in the Group than the CD‐ROM condition; although onl...

Description
Summary:We compared preliminary feasibility and acceptability of CD‐ROM‐delivered CBT for overweight individuals with binge‐eating disorder (BED) to 10 weekly group CBT sessions (Group) and to a waiting list control (WL). Attrition was numerically greater in the Group than the CD‐ROM condition; although only Group differed significantly from WL in dropout rates. Those in the CD‐ROM condition reported continued use of their CD‐ROM after treatment. Also, the majority of WL participants elected to receive CD‐ROM over Group treatment at the end of the waiting period. Preliminarily, no significant differences emerged across the active treatment groups on most outcome measures. However, there was a significantly greater decline in binge days in the two active groups relative to WL. CD‐ROM appears to be an acceptable and at least initially preferred method of CBT delivery for overweight individuals with BED.
